What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to pay an operator of an independent charter school for pupils who attend summer school at the independent charter school in the same manner that DPI pays a private school participating in a parental choice program for pupils who attend summer school at the participating private school. Under current law, DPI does not pay an operator of an independent charter school for pupils who attend summer school at the independent charter school.
Under the bill, the amount paid for each pupil who attends summer school at the independent charter school is 5 percent of the per pupil amount paid to the operator for a pupil who attends the independent charter school for the school year.

If the independent charter school is authorized by the Gateway Technical College District Board, the county executive of Waukesha County, the College of Menominee Nation, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College, or the director of the Office of Educational Opportunity within the University of Wisconsin System, the amount paid to the operator for a pupil to attend summer school at the independent charter school is subtracted from the pupil's resident school district's state aid.
